I saw Kellen Winslow and immediately thought wow, hed be perfect for buffalo. But then he went to seattle. Id love to have a legit TE, who can start, or play behind Chandler. Looking through FAs available, one player whos had success ever year hes played, and could contribute, Jeremy Shockey. 455 yds, and 4 TDs last year. He would be the final piece to a good passing attack. Shockey still has it in him to get open, and he has very good hands, and is a great redzone threat. Our 2nd-3rd TEs are totally irrelevant in my opinion and having 2 would take the pressure off of Chandler, and during 2 wides 2 TEs, would force more interior coverage which leaves Johnson/Nelson/Graham, well off on the outside. Very small thing, that would help out with this great offseason

Re: One more piece that would complete this offseason
i mentioned the same thing a couple days before kellen winslow was put on the block, about dallas clark. i would have loved to see him in a bills uni... offensive leader, playmaker, run/pass blocker, etc... definitely could not hurt to bring in an all-pro TE, whether we traditionally use a TE or not

Re: One more piece that would complete this offseason
I would have been more willing to consider Clark because he's not the headcase that Shockey is, but I'd still be hesitant because he's old and has injury issues as well.
Winslow was just too expensive for the way Gailey uses TE's.

Re: One more piece that would complete this offseason
Shockey hasnt had any legal, nfl rule issues in years. He missed 1 game last year, 3 the year before, 2 the year before that. Never had a long lasting injury, and last year he did more than u expect from a backup TE. 37 catches, 400 + yds, 4 TDs. So whats the biggy? Shiancoe is the same age, had less yds, and TDs (by a little), and he backed up Shockey, so i think either would be the same, i dont see why just NO to Shockey?Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

Re: One more piece that would complete this offseason
I can't help but feel this all about names and not about talent. I thought Chandler was fine but he's not a name so folks feel like we have to upgrade the position. I don't care who makes the catches: WRs, TEs, RBs, Buddy Nix himself, as long as the offense works.
